Could joi become real in the world of tron?

So I was thinking about how in the world of tron everything on the grid is digital. So if you were to somehow connect joi and bring her to the grid then you transport yourself there you could then physically interact with her and possibly bring her out to the real world somehow. I was just thinking about this the other day and wanted to know what others think don’t know if this has already been put out there

There are no vampires in Blade Runner

Turns out that I'm stupid. I thought Blade Runner 2049 was a sequel to the Blade movies. The movie is great, it's just not what I expected.

Whats with THAT selection?

I'm about to end Black Lotus, overall an enjoyable experience...I guess 7/10. But I have ONE BIG problem...the Intro and the Outros. Am I the only one who thinks that the music selection is HORRIBLE? Its very off putting....

Why doesn’t….

In the original Blade Runner, when Bryant is briefing Deckard, Deckard doesn’t seem to know what a Nexus-6 is. He doesn’t seem to know that they’ve been limited to a 4 year lifespan.

Bryant explains to him the emotional limitations also of the Nexus-6 as well, as if Deckard wouldn’t know

An implication can be that the Nexus-6’s are new - that when Deckard left the unit they were hunting Nexus-5’s or below -

Except that the Tyrell Corp is already prototyping Nexus-7’s, and the 6’s seem to be considered already an outmoded model.

So my question is, why doesn’t Deckard seem to know about the Nexus-6’s?

Just watched 2049 for the first time

I just watched Blade Runner 2049 for the first time last night and holy shit. I’ve never seen the first one so I had no idea what to expect from this movie so I went in kind of blind. What got me to watch it is all the videos or memes on instagram with the “I can fix that” scene. First off the sound track alone is fucking amazing and I couldn’t get enough of it. Hans damn near made me nut no lie. Pairing that with the visuals was just unbelievable. This movie was literal audio and visual porn. With the movie being over 2 1/2 hours long it felt as if it wasn’t long enough. The movie was phenomenal in my opinion. I was thinking about watching the first one but with it being made in the 80s I figured it wouldn’t be nearly as visually or audibly stunning. Should I watch the first one now?

Bryant - Digital - by me

Drink some for me…

Digital piece I did back in 2019 when I was doing a Blade-vember to follow up Inktober drawings. Celebrating the life and career of M. Emmet Walsh.

Blade Runner and Appreciating Life in a Dystopian World

I made a video for the original too. Some of my wording didn't represent my love for the movie well so I made some changes. Would also be great to hear what fellow fans think! All the respect to the community 🙏

Please explain what I didn't get about Blade Runner: The Final Cut

Title is mostly self explanatory here, but I want to be sure I understand what I just watched before watching Blade Runner 2049, which is the main reason I watched the original since I was instructed that it is a sequel and things wouldn't make sense if I didn't.

While I did like the movie on a surface level, it did feel very confusing. What was important from it (in regards to watching 2049)?

EDIT:

Thank you to everyone who answered here! I don't really use reddit a lot anymore and it was heartwarming to receive replies that helped fill in the gaps, most notably this lengthy reply: https://www.reddit.com/r/bladerunner/comments/1bj2vvb/comment/kvpaif2/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web2x&context=3. Take a read if you haven't already!

I look forward to watching 2049 with a new lens! Cheers!

Could a replicant identify another replicant by giving them the voight-kampff test?

Surely this has been answered as part of the theory that Deckert was a replicant. If it’s basically a multiple choice questionnaire with the proper responses already known, the test giver merely has to ask the questions and watch what the machine picks up as the recipient reacts to them. But without coaching or a lifetime of human experience, they wouldn’t understand why, for example, “a delicious meal of boiled dog” should elicit a response of disgust or repulsion. At the end of the test I think a replicant tester might figure out they weren’t human even if they were never told.

Edit: Thanks for the thoughtful answers. “multiple choice questions” would be better put as “open ended questions intended to provoke a response”. And yes I meant if the tester himself was unknowingly a replicant, he might realize he’s one while giving the test. Perhaps he could be programmed to be incapable of this self-awareness, but that doesn’t make sense to use replicant blade runners with such handicaps vs a human Bladerunner.
